LINX HIGH CARBON HOOKS
- Thread starter kegan
- Start date
Not sure if I am going to go for sharky's. But I got some old hooks my dad used to use. Nothing wrong with them, not rusted at all and sharp too. Think they are coated with a brass like coating. Will use them for sharks if I decide to go that way. These other hooks look really good, not like some of the cheap stuff you get. Thanks, Will get some more of them as they are quite affordable.

AWESOME hooks!
One of the sharpest hooks around for it's price... No need for diachiis if you have linx in your tackle box

Nems is right . sort of ...! Lol
the Linx hooks Are certainly not first choice for sharks . two popular sizes available , eds being 6/0 , Even the 8/0 . i wouldn't throw for non-eds with the 6/0's , as he says i reckon that's looking for trouble .
Those 8/0's are really not bad, and , As stated above elswhere , mense, these things are sharp as Shoot .
i also like their shape , and being so sharp , anything Even remotely trying to pull in for a sly eating session is going to land up On the sharper end of the hook .
I used to use them for skelm hooks , but have found them strong enoughb for anything up to around 60 kg easy .
The thing with shark hooks is that due to them needing to pull more weight , Are generally thicker , whereas these things would jusst qualify , are thinnner, and yet i feel they are strong Enough for a good fish .
someone needs to just remind me if they come in a "light "ad a heavy version , think they do , in which case the thicker one is really not too bad .
havént lost a fish yet on One , so i guess you can call Me an optomist for now , but really these hooks Aren't as bad at all .
4 trips down Though , and ,on the thinner 06 sizes - uh uh -no way for big eds , although i did Manage my Pb On it , ...Lets hope it Pulls one for Meon saturday ...
Cheap , sharp .
and use 4 times only . other than that , you're good to go .

I have a few 10/0 linx hooks left. They are much thicker in relation to their smaller brothers and I would feel confident pulling something decent with them. Still thinner gauge than some more "recognized" shark hooks, but definitely worth a try.
Here's a experienced 10/0 linx (on left) and a 8/0 bandit 2x

I just luv 'em !
The Linx also comes in 2x, which seem decent enough. I would also just use them for eds, but I did once hook into a big threasher on the mountain with the 8/0 Linx after a few hard runs and an aerial display of note it popped my bite trace but the hook held fine although my nerves didn't.

The fish in my avatar was caught on linx hooks,also landed a 52kg duckbill,bronzie of 91kg and a 154kg raggie on it so far..I used the xtra strong 10-11/o hooks
hi guys
used the linx to catch cob from the boat, not bad at all,
I have noted many hooks are reasonably strong if they are set correctly into the gape of the hook, but if only the point is in the fish mouth then hooks tend to open. this is where hooks like diachis ect stand up to the challange..
Have been using these for a while now and myself have not landed a massive fish on it, but others have, but for strenght and price you will never beat it...
